Directions

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9x9 square dish with foil or parchment and set aside. {If you are lining your pan with foil, lightly grease with non stick cooking spray.} Grind nutter butter cookies in a food processor until the consistency of graham cracker crumbs. Pour in melted butter and pulse a few times to mix. Press into prepared dish and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whip cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Stir in egg, vanilla and flour. Finely chop butterfingers and fold into the cheesecake mixture. Pour over top nutter butter crust and bake for 18-22 minutes or until cheesecake has set. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until completely chilled.
• Pour chocolate chips and butter into a small bowl and microwave using the melt chocolate function, stirring every 20-30 seconds. If your chocolate is almost melted, dont put it back into the microwave! Just keep stirring- the residual heat will continue to melt the chocolate completely. {If your microwave doesnt have this function, zap your chocolate at 50% power at 20 second intervals, stirring in between.} Spread melted chocolate overtop of the bars evenly and place back into the refrigerator 5-10 minutes to harden the chocolate. Remove from refrigerator and using the foil or parchment, remove the entire block of bars from the pan. Cut into bars and serve.
• Recipes Notes: If you leave the bars in the refrigerator longer than 10 minutes after youve topped it with chocolate, cutting into the bars might be more difficult and the chocolate is more likely to crack.
